<h2 class="heading2">Extending Plesk Capabilities with Modules</h2>
<p class="bodytext">In this version of Plesk, you can extend the functionality of your control panel without upgrade. This can be done by installing additional functional components, available as modules developed by Parallels or third parties.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The modules can be easily installed, removed, and configured directly from the control panel.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The modules come as a single RPM package, a self-extracting shell script, or in any other form suitable to your operating system. If you wish, you can also install the module from the command line. When you install the module on server using the control panel, you are taken to the module's configuration screen.</p>
<p class="bodytext">The following modules are available for Plesk 8:</p>
<p class="bodytext"><strong class="buttons"><strong class="buttons">Acronis True Image Server management module</strong></strong> - Allows to create server disk backup images without interrupting server operations and perform easy and fast recovery of the entire system. This module is free, however, the Acronis True Image Server application requires a license key, which you can purchase and install through Plesk control panel.</p>
<p class="bodytext"><strong class="buttons"><strong class="buttons">*Battlefield 2 Game Server module</strong></strong> - Allows to install and manage Battlefield 2 game servers.</p>
<p class="bodytext"><strong class="buttons"><strong class="buttons">*Counter-Strike Game Server module</strong></strong> - Allows to install and update Half-Life: Counter-Strike game server, to create and manage games.</p>
